Fully aware of spinners’ heavy workload during the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka, the team management and national selectors may rest Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja from the limited overs matches, starting August 20. It is expected that pacer Mohammed Shami will also be rested from the ODI series as his workload needs to be monitored. Chairman of selectors MSK Prasad is in Kandy to track the performances while his colleague Devang Gandhi is in South Africa with the A team. They will be on conference call with third member Sarandeep Singh on August 13 to pick the squad.
The likes of Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Krunal Pandya could all be in contention while limited overs yorker specialist Jasprit Bumrah is a certainty.
